So Imeldific, Senyor Valera.

I was lucky enough to have been invited to Freeway's National Artist Collection x Ramon Valera. The event was last Tuesday and I can truly say it's one of the best events I've ever been to--ever. The event was full of the 2 things I love most--fashion and history. It was well-organized, well thought of, it was something you'll store in your memory box forever. The event started with the viewing of Ramon Valera's works borrowed from different ladies who loved his art with all of their hearts...

And then of course the fashion show which was 60's inspired! The collection is a sublimation of Valera's art into the pieces. I love how they transitioned Mr. Valera's work into many wearable ways suited for today's time. :) Before I proceed with the runway photos, here's an example of what they call "sublimation"---

My favorite--I would buy this!

Jessica is expressionless. hehe!

I loveeee.

After the show, the spotlight was all on the style icon herself and advocate of the arts--Madame Imelda Romualdez-Marcos. I find her interview interesting and amusing, all in good sense. She was very funny, witty, charming and gracious.

One thing she said that stuck in my mind and that made all people in the room laugh was when she said, "Allergic ako sa panget dapat palaging maganda, maganda, maganda! Kaya ng palaging magandang umaga! Magandang araw! Magandang gabi!". Lol. She also has many projects for Ilocos and soon all her gowns would be on exhibit somewhere! Excited for that. This congresswoman is indeed exceptional.
